677 Sin Not To Figh (1/2)

”To think he actually won after being forced into such a situation...”

On one of the slightly further away mountain peaks of the Seven Cloud Mountain, Zhao Yanran was muttering in shock.

Thousands, tens of thousands of Night Demons had their heads cut off in an instant.

Before this, they could totally bully their opponents, but now they had no ability to fight back.

Corpses laid all over, blood flowed like a river beneath the mountain.

Although those Grade-4 Night Demons were running, but under the blistering sun they weren't as swift as usual.

They were in an extremely tough situation. From her perspective, they weren't far away from death.

The 300,000 Cavalry that Zong Yuan controlled had split into three. They pierced forward and directly cut off the retreat path of the Night Demons.

...Even if they could flee, where could they go? East of here was the Cloud Ocean. The only path west was under Gantian Mountain control and it had been blown apart.

The only difference was dying early or dying later...

Xuan Yunlan was caressing her zither, playing the Qin King Formation Breaking Tune and the music spread through the mountains.

At this moment, the troops at the foot of the mountain had broken away from the range of her music so she stopped. Her fingers were bloody.

Each moment of the night she played this tune, the music spreading tens of miles around.

The Soul Calming Purification Tune could heal injuries and raise up their fighting spirit and morale.

She knew that its effects were minuscule but even if she used up all her internal energy she still didn't give up. She just wanted to help Zong Shou out in some way...

At this moment, when she heard what Zhao Yanran said, she instantly laughed, ”Why aren't you happy that he won? I remembered that yesterday you were worried for an entire day. Great Senior Master has many plans and has so many great Generals supporting him so how could he really be forced to death?”

Zhao Yanran burst into a cold mocking laugh, Xuan Yunlan wasn't worrying any less than her.

She didn't retort, just looking toward the east in a daze.

”Using the mirage to defeat the enemy. That woman is quite smart. I underestimated her just now! That fellow's eye for talent is so strong...”

She laughed, ”After this battle, will our Great Great Senior Master be considered the Overlord of the east of the Cloud World?”

Xuan Yunlan was startled and entered a state of deep thought.

In just a short moment, she understood what Zhao Yanran meant.

Huizhou Island had a really important location. It was less than 19,000 miles away from the Central Continent and just 18,000 from the South Wind Cloud Continent.

If one used a quick ship, in just three to five days, one would be able to arrive.

In the nearly 30,000 miles, there were three of the Twelve Islands which were around.

The region would be comparable to Six States in the ancient time!

Just thinking about its size, it could be compared to one Donglin. Moreover, they had lots of mines and produce.

Most of them were in war and chaos now, the cities all merged together. Thinking about it, if Zong Shou was willing, no one could stop him to the east of the Cloud World.

Using the prestige from the destruction of the Night Demon army, in just a few years he could accept those few islands into his rule.

She couldn't help but feel shocked. Gantian Mountain had unknowingly become such a huge pillar!

Zhao Yanran continued on, ”Do you remember that to the south of the Central Continent there are dozens of barbaric countries who have a good relationship with us. Since Zong Shou is so strong, who knows what the Elders of the Sect would choose...”

The Central Continent was huge, even Great Shang couldn't take it all under their rule.

At this moment, there were dozens of states on its southeast that were ruled by others.

Many strong people rose up there, however, rather than call them Barbaric Countries, they were more of Barbaric Tribes.

With so many tribes, the experts could cause people to yield and if one was weak, one could only join others. This was why people called them the Southern Barbarians...

It was similar to the tribal environment in ancient times but much crueler.

Killings didn't stop the races and the battle for power was often really gory.

The Common People's Path could only interfere in such a chaotic land.

During these 10,000 years, they also controlled some of them.

What was funny was that the Three Sects and Six Schools wanted to try that equality path. In the end, they made it into a mess and were forced to give up. Most of the disciples were in despair and focused on cultivation instead.

In the end, the conclusion they came to was that the barbarians weren't smart enough and not suited for such methods.

Ancestor Xi Zi's Grand Path could only be completed where civilization was prosperous.

This was why in the recent 2,000 years they had slowed down.

Thus, their powers grew strongly and many barbaric tribes saw them as their help and support.

However, the Barbaric Countries were all under their control.

Zong Shou was showing such invincible aura, his military might suppressing a world.

It was really tough to say what decision the Common People's Path elders would choose...

Overlord of the Southeast?

Such thoughts instinctively spread in Xuan Yunlan's mind. Her eyes constricted and she moved her hands to play out on the zither.

The clean music caused her to calm down once more.
